The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the gear shifter was stuck in park(P). The contact had experienced approximately 5 failures and had the vehicle towed. The contact stated that once the vehicle was parked the gear shifter remained stuck in park(P). The contact stated had to manually depress the button under the gear shifter to move the gear shifter. The contact stated that after the first failure, the vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found; however, an unknown part was greased. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was referred to the local dealer and notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN). The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the residence and had not been driven since. The failure mileage was unknown.

The engine in my vehicle (2007 Charger, 49,000 miles) has completely failed due to "Casting Sand Sludge". This issue has been acknowledged by FCA Stellantis; but only in much newer engines. The failure in my vehicle, from the "casting sand sludge" caused the vehicle to have engine heat issues, which could have started a fire or resulted in the complete seizure of the engine at speed, potentially leading to a catastrophic and fatal outcome. The fact that the issue is present in my vehicle strongly indicates that FCA Stellantis was aware of the Casting Sand Sludge issue far earlier than they have acknowledged. The Service center suspected a head gasket issue, so they began to address it; what they found was casting sand sludge throughout the engine block. An issue which is an inherent defect of manufacturing, which is unknowable to a unsuspecting owner - until a total failure occurs. This issue would also coincidentally constitute a breach of the "implied Warranty Of Merchantability", as the issue makes affected vehicles not fit for their intended purpose. The Service Center that found the defect is an Authorized FCA Stellantis Dealer/Service Provider. The Service Manager has had an "Conference Call" with an Area Service Manager & A Service Technical Advisor. The Service Manager has indicated that it is casting sand & has told me that if the manufacturer has him send them the engine that i what he is putting on the report. He has told me that he feels that the manufacturer likely will try to bury the issue by attempting a "Forced Buyout". Cursory, research by myself has found that Casting Sand in the presence of H.O.A.T or O.A.T. coolant & heat forms a sludge which over time {40,000 to 55,000 miles} renders an engine unusable, risking catastrophic failure or fire. LX Platform vehicles of the era 2005-2009 were considered "Durable for intended purpose for 150,000 to 300,000 miles". Casting Sand left in the engine block, during manufacture, violates that durability

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS 2007 DODGE CHARGER I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALEAR TO BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE EVERYTIME I HIT THE BRAKES IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SCRATCHING THE GROUND BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT WAS FINE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT SO WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER IT DID IT AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALREADY CHECKED IT AND THEY DIDN'T FIND NOTHING TO BRING IT ANOTHER TIME SO I KEPT BRINGING IT SO MANY TIMES THEY KEPT TELLING ME THE SAME THING SO I STOP TAKING IT THAN LATER MY SHIFTER BROKE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I HAD BOUGHT A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME IT DOESN'T COVER IT , THEY TRY TO CHARGE ME $580. SO I DID A RESEARCH ON HOW TO FIX IT ON YOUTUBE AND I BOUGHT THE PART I ONLY PAY $10. FOR THE PART. AND I FIXED IT MYSELF I SAVED ME $570. SO I STOP TAKING MY CAR TO THEM BECAUSE I USED TO DO MY OIL CHANGE BUT THEY CHARGE ME TOO MUCH

CAR GOES TO LIMP MODE IT FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER.STEERING WHEEL CONTROL S DONT WORK AND WIPERS STOP WHEN THEY WANT

VEHICLE ON THREE ISOLATED OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS LUNGES FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, ANOTHER INSTANCE AT A STOP SIGN AND AS OF TODAY WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THROUGH. ON EACH OCCASION MY VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SELF REV TO 3500 RPM. ON ALL OCCASIONS I HAD TO IMMEDIALTY PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO PREVENT CATASTROPHIC ENDANGERMENT TO MYSELF, SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND PERSONS. THIS CONDITION IS A DETRIMENT TO HE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

Filled fuel tank up until the pump shut off. As I drove onto the road, the engine suddenly died causing me to run off the shoulder as the power steering went out as well. I eventually got it re-started, but it ran rough and stalled out several more times on my way home. After some online research, I determined that it was probably raw gas getting pulled down the EVAP tube. I avoid the problem now by not filling the tank up all the way, but do it once in a while accidently and the problem returns. Highly dangerous situation.

CAR STARTED AND WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. BROKEN INTERNAL SHIFTER MECHANISM, THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE SRT 8. THE SRT 8 MODEL NEEDS TO BE ADDED TOO. THE CAR ONLY HAD 62,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

I PURCHASED A SET OF NEXEN ROADIAN HP 102V TIRES IN JULY 2015, SIZE 265/35/22. I RECENTLY WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES AND WAS ASKED TO COME TAKE A LOOK. ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAD CRACKED AROUND THE SHOULDER OF THE TIRES, AND THE CRACKING WAS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TIRE THAT I HAVE NO VISION OF. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER KNOWN IF I HADN'T TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE ONLY PUT A LITTLE OVER 20,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THE TREADING IS GREAT WHICH DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF NEGLECT. THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM AGREED THAT THE TIRES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, & THE TIRES HAD THE CORRECT PRESSURE IN THE ETC. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH NEXEN ROADIAN HP TIRES. THEY SENT ALL OF THE PAPERWORK IN TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARE THE WORST. BERNARDO WAS VERY RUDE AND TRYING TO PUT BLAME ON THE CUSTOMER (ME) WHEN HE WAS CLEARLY TOLD BY THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM WHICH ARE THE SAME ONE'S THAT TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRES AND DID THE INSPECTION THAT THEY SEE ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT OF MINE AND THAT THE TIRES ARE JUST DEFECTIVE. SO THEN I ASKED FOR THE DOT NUMBERS, AND WHAT DO WE DISCOVER??? THE MANUFACTURING DATE WAS STAMPED 4715, HOW COULD THIS BE IF I PURCHASED THE TIRES IN JULY 2015? THERE IS SOMETHING SHADY GOING ON AND NEXEN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, MY CAR HAS BEEN AT MCCARTHY TIRE FOR 2 WEEKS AND NOW THAT THE DOT ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER TO WHY IT'S STAMPED FOR THE 47TH WEEK OF 2015, IT'S ONLY 52 WEEKS IN A YEAR WHICH MEANS I WOULD'VE HAD TO BY THOSE TIRES IN NOVEMBER 2015. THE REVIEWS I'M READING ON NEXEN TIRES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE ON NEXEN TIRES?

CAR WAS PARKED. FLOOR SHIFTER WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH. AC DISTRIBUTION HOUSING BROKEN,VEHICLE WHEELS BENT FROM NORMAL DRIVING. DEALER SAID KEY, IGNITION SWITCH, FLOOR SHIFTER, OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS NEED REPLACEMENT.. OVER $7000 REPAIR, WHEELS NOT INCLUDED.

I'VE HAD TO CHANGE CONTROL ARMS AND STRUTS MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE GETTING THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR SHAKES AND SHIMMIES. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW YEARS AND KEEPS GETTING WORSE. THE HIGHER THE SPEED THE MORE IT SHAKES. IT SHAKES RIGHT UP THE STEERING COLUMN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I FEAR THE SHAKING WILL RESULT IN OTHER PARTS FAILING WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. CAR IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. IF A STEERING ROD FAILS BECAUSE OF THIS IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

TECH WENT TO GO PULL PART FROM PARTS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD VEHICLES PART WAS DISCONTINUED.

THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT DIMMER BROKE ON THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL , IT WON'T RETURN TO THE MIDDLE AFTER YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. ALMOST GOTTEN IN A FEW ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY SIGNAL LIGHT WAS STILL ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT.
